Innovation Spark

Who has the most fun at Houston Mini Maker Faire? Our Makers and exhibitors, of course! If you want to connect with the energy and inspiration of Maker Faire, while at the same time doing something very important for the future of the Houston metro area, come join us as an exhibitor at Houston Mini Maker Faire. Click here for more information about what’s involved and how to sign up. We will schedule in-person and video-chat info sessions all around Houston to be sure you’re fully prepared for this amazing experience, and you can always ask questions. Let us help you make it happen! We recommend you sign up as early as possible to take advantage of our new program through which you can cover your expenses through advance ticket sales.

This year we take another leap forward for Houston as we grow to a 2-day event (11/12-13/2016) and increase our exhibit area at the George R. Brown Convention Center by 50%. Our plan is to grow this to be a leading event for Houston, Texas, the US and the world — but we will always value and support our individual exhibitors and small teams. Come help us build this amazing story together!

We’re Maker Faire so we love to show all things creative, informative, inventive and innovative! We will accept any exhibit within Maker Faire guidelines (not sure? — just ask), but here are some special focus areas for 2016 — if you can help us show and share exhibits in these areas, please let us know:

Cause Champions: do you have a nonprofit cause that needs help in innovation or technology to make a breakthrough? We invite you to exhibit so you can get Makers and attendees involved and see how “Houston Makes A Difference”!

Again, we welcome all creative and inventive people as fellow Makers and want you to join us for this important event. Click here for full information about exhibiting at our event and to get to the registration system (you must register to exhibit at Houston Mini Maker Faire). We will get back to you promptly to finalize arrangements.

The time is now for you to start preparing for this event and we are looking to get everyone signed up as early as possible this year. To facilitate the process, we have created a registration page on our website to allow you to submit the details of your spot.

The Comicpalooza event has a registration deadline of May 1, 2016, register early for the event, as we have limited space, and all spaces will be allocated on the basis of timeliness and type of display proposed. This event being a Comic conference, we would love to see some interesting themes from the makers that fit in with the culture and nature of the event. The registration will be a 2 part process, the first will be to register on the Innovation Spark site, this will reserve a spot for you at the event and to provide us with the information about your display, and any special requirements you may need for your space. The second part is to register on the Comicpalooza website, for this, we will send you details on how to register as well as a Registration Code to use during the process.

To be able to register, you will first have to signup for an account on the site, you will then receive an email with your login information, which will allow you to book your booth.
